>>511369648 (OP)I live in Scotland. Not the greatest or richest place on earth but it's okay if you don't live on the outskirts of some of the cities. Once or Twice a year I drive down to York or London. The sudden shift when you cross into England is hard to describe. Almost everything is run down; people are hostile, combative, argumentative, or just ignorant to their fellow man; the quality of driving takes a nose dive (which says alot as driving quality in Scotland is rapidly declining); the racial demographics become much more varied, in Scotland you'd see the odd Indian or Pakistani family, tending to their shop/business or in someway contributing to their area/community, in England they are everywhere being loud, loitering, littering, vandalising, sometimes you can go hours without seeing a white person depending where in England you go; Africans are everywhere, especially in London. You might - rarely unless visiting some venue that would have a higher chance to attract these types - see these in the single or sometimes low double digits in places like Glasgow or Edinburgh. Everything is more expensive, nothing seems to work (public transport, emergancy services, etc.), infrastructure is on its knees, people (regardless of race) are horrible to interact with, and you can't (no matter what English people might have you believe) drink the tap water. Utter shitehole, I've had a better experiences in Syria, Morocco, Nepal, Laos, and Bolivia, all of which by the way are real 3rd world countries.
